Let’s Get Started On The Recipe
I was inspired to make this Fish Biryani when I saw it on Sister Shalimas Page.She made it using fresh Salmon, unfortunately in Srilanka we don’t have access to fresh Pink Salmon yet…We find the frozen one but we are not big fans of frozen fish!!!That’s why we choose The Middle Cut Company…..They only serve the Fresh Kind!!!
Check out Sister Shalimas Instagram page to find many more Bangladeshi Recipes!!!Love everything on her page!!!

What You Need :
- Fresh Seer Fish Slices 1 kg marinated in salt, pepper,kashmir chilli pwd and lime juice.
Mixed Fried Vegetables
- 500g Potato Cubes
- 500g Carrot Cubes
- Fried Aubergine slices/Brinjals
- Moringa leaves (optional)
Other things you need :
- Cooked Rice for Layering
- Gravy For Layering
- Fresh Onion Rings and Lime Slices for Garnish
Fish
Heat oil in a pan and pan fry both sides of the marinated fish on medium high.Fish cooks quite fast….Do not over crowd the pan, this will not give the beautiful crisp colour on the outside.It will steam the fish instead.You could also bake or grill the fish on both sides.Whatever suits your way,Go ahead!
DO NOT DISCARD THAT FLAVOURED OIL!!!
Use it to Stirfry the potatoes and carrots
Mixed Fried Vegetable Layer
That flavoured oil helps season the potatoes well
After the potatoes are done, add in the carrots ???
Add in the Fried Brinjals and mix well…
I didn’t have other fresh leaves so I added moringa leaves from the garden
Mixed Fried Vegetable Layer is ready!!!
Rice
You can use any kind of rice you prefer, but for this recipe I cooked Coconut Rice, because that’s how we like our special weekend rice dishes!!!
